[Characteristics of lipids of microbial origin with regard to triglyceride composition and comparison of them to plant oils].

The triacylglycerol composition of lipids isolated from the yeasts Candida guilliermondii and C. humicola and of food vegetable oils was investigated by HPLC. The triacylglycerol composition of samples was compared using the program "Nearest neighbour" and by plotting images with the help of the software package STATGRAPHICS. The methods used allow us to conclude that microbial lipids are rather promising.
